Geology and Production of Helium and Associated Gases brings
together several different theories and models on how helium is
generated, migrated to the reservoir, and trapped from several
geologic rock types. The importance of this element in society
cannot be stressed enough, but helium is in significant short
supply. Nitrogen is also important in the fertilizer industry and
is a byproduct of helium and natural gas production. Nitrogen
presence often indicates the presence of Helium. This book brings
together a tremendous amount of geology, engineering, and
production methods not available elsewhere in one source.
Andean Structural Styles: A Seismic Atlas is a comprehensive
reference illustrating the variability in structural styles and
hydrocarbon traps that exist in the Andean chain. The Andean chain,
stretching over more than 5,000 km (3,000 mi) from Venezuela to
Argentina, contains a large number of sedimentary basins which have
developed in a wide range of tectonic settings. Some of these
basins are highly mature, with hydrocarbon production from
Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic sedimentary sequences, while
others are still underexplored. Andean Structural Styles: A Seismic
Atlas covers topics including fold types, thrust faults, triangle
zones, inversion structures, synorogenic deposits, and growth
stratal geometries. These topics are illustrated by thirty-two
seismic examples interpreted and uninterpreted, covering most of
the Andean basins, and five chapters reviewing the structural
styles of the Andes, the complexity of processing seismic in these
settings, how analogue models help in the interpretation, and
several outcrop analogues. This reference is invaluable to both
hydrocarbon exploration of the Andes and researchers and students
in the fields of exploration geology and structural geology. Also,
those teaching structural geology and seismic interpretation will
find a valuable resource with lots of uninterpreted seismic
examples that can be used in their lectures.
Weather forecasting and climate behavioral analysis have
traditionally been done using complicated physics models and
accompanying atmospheric variables. However, the traditional
approaches lack common tools, which can lead to incomplete
information about the weather and climate conditions, in turn
affecting the prediction accuracy rate. To address these problems,
the advanced technological aspects through the spectrum of
artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) models serve as a budding
solution. Further study on artificial intelligence of things and
how it can be utilized to improve weather forecasting and climatic
behavioral analysis is crucial to appropriately employ the
technology. Artificial Intelligence of Things for Weather
Forecasting and Climatic Behavioral Analysis discusses practical
applications of artificial intelligence of things for
interpretation of weather patterns and how weather information can
be used to make critical decisions about harvesting, aviation, etc.
This book also considers artificial intelligence of things issues
such as managing natural disasters that impact the lives of
millions. Covering topics such as deep learning, remote sensing,
and meteorological applications, this reference work is ideal for
data scientists, industry professionals, researchers, academicians,
scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Climatology in Cold Regions A groundbreaking interdisciplinary
study of cold-region weather systems and their vital role in
predicting climate change across the globe Climatology in Cold
Regions explores the complexities of land-atmospheric interaction
across the Earth's cryosphere, systematically placing soil thawing,
snow melting, surface diabatic heating, and other processes within
the context of broader climatological models. Drawing from a wealth
of new data, leading atmospheric scientist Chenghai Wang
illustrates how cold-region weather systems can be parameterized to
improve seasonal climate prediction and provide crucial insights
into projected changes in climate over the next 50-100 years. The
book opens with an introduction to the characteristics and
classification of cold-region climatology, followed by a detailed
description of the primary weather systems and land surface
processes in cold regions. The core of the book presents a new
approach for seasonal climate prediction using signals obtained
from cryospheric processes, supported by a discussion of climate
disasters and the impact of climate change on the ecology of cold
regions. Introduces a new way of modeling climate in cold regions
Offers novel approaches for assessing climate signals from cold
regions in seasonal and sub-seasonal predictions Presents new data
on the role of cold-region climatology in forecasting and driving
global temperature changes Discusses the role of cold regions as
the main source of global freshwater supply A significant
contribution to climate research and beyond, Climatology in Cold
Regions is essential reading for students, scientists, and
researchers in the atmospheric sciences, meteorology, ecology,
hydrology, and Earth sciences.
